Coming off Cerazette to TTC

Hi,

I took my last pill on Thursday 17th August and since coming off I've had loads of pregnancy symptoms. Feeling tired, bloated, feeling sick, backache, stomach cramps, mood swings, sensitive to smells etc.

Whenever I've missed a pill before I've had a bleed straight away, even when I was ill on holiday I had a bleed (apparently due to pill not being absorbed properly). So far I've not had any bleeding at all since properly coming off the pill. Surely it's way too early to have pregnancy symptoms! Confused

I’ve had veryyy slight spotting so I think AF may come soon for me too. Unless I ovulated late and this is implantation, we will see! Good luck for next month 😊

That’s strange! I was due AF anytime from 23rd Oct until tomorrow. I’ve got cramps and other signs. Taken a test and BFN again 👎🏻👎🏻

Update on me. I started spotting Friday (day 22) and still spotting now. I don’t know what’s going on. Its pink and very light then stops. Then tonight it was a bit heavier so I thought it might actually be my period but it’s stopped again. Very strange. 😕

Good luck to you too Amyleigh. 😊

Fingers crossed Armygirl!

I’ve no idea when I first ovulated but I presume around 2 weeks before AF so I would have been off my pill for 4 weeks then. I hope I get a BFP this month but not getting my hopes up! I’ve had tons of symptoms but could be in my head :(

I read that ovulation can sometimes be a bit later when coming off the pill so I'm hoping that's the case with me as bf lives away. We dtd day 16 and 18 as that's when we saw eachother. Fingers crossed

Good luck girls! It wasn’t any fun coming off the pill, I was convinced I was pregnant but turned out a lot of people get false pregnancy symptoms when coming off it!!

Update on me: I’m waiting for 2nd period (due next week I think), I got a positive OPK on 9th Oct so probably ovulated 10th Oct. I’ve done 2 pregnancy tests, both negative. Waiting until the weekend to do another one! Fingers crossed Smile

Joining also, (though it may be a bit premature) I took my last pill yesterday...

Lauren3187 · 17/10/2017 21:28

Hi ladies, joining in on the thread I stopped taking my Cerazette 3 weeks ago. Not liking the symptoms...I feel yuk!

I’m hoping my cycles get back to normal soon, although not holding much hope as I was on the Depo until Feb 17 this year then switched the pill. I’ve read some horror stories about how it completely messing your body up for a while.

Fingers crossed for everyone Smile

Tilly - I’m sure it will happen soon for you, I had pregnancy symptoms for ages, then it all stopped apart from sore nipples, then today AF came, wasn’t expecting it at all! I had a faint line on an OPK this morning!!

LadyKat - I’ve got an app called Ovia so I’m tracking things on there and will start doing OPKs again in a couple of weeks :-)

LadyKat567 · 28/09/2017 20:52

Are you going to chart or do opks etc? I started charting a couple of weeks ago (we're not actually ttc for a few months but wanted to see how it all worked and whether I am ovulating) but am already getting addicted to it! My inner science geek is loving all the stats and graphs Grin

TillyTheTiger · 28/09/2017 20:45

This has given me hope, I stopped taking cerazette on 13 Aug and still nothing... I had exactly the same pregnancy type symptoms as you but they've all gone now and no sign of AF yet, negative test on Sun. Fingers crossed it won't take too much longer to get back to normal.

I think it’s deffo a period! Hoping my cycle gets back to normal fast! :)

LadyKat567 · 28/09/2017 20:11

Wooo!! Great news! Do you think it was a withdrawal bleed or normal period? Guessing a withdrawal bleed would've happened sooner?

I got changed to Cerelle a few years ago and I had problems on it too, period, headaches etc. I told them I need to go back on Cerazette and they let me!

OP posts:
Oysterbabe · 18/09/2017 17:31

It was 39 days before I got a period after Cerazette.

LadyKat567 · 18/09/2017 17:27

Hi ladies! Mind if I follow along. I took my last cerelle pill on Friday. I have on cerrazette/cerelle for pretty much 17 years. For years I had no periods at all but in the last couple of years or so I seem to getting more and more. I think this is since it went to cerelle but my gp assures me that they are exactly the same Hmm
Anyway, I just had a period and stopped the pill on the first day so was at the start of an new cycle. Have no idea what my body is going to do now as it's probably pretty confused after 17 years but will wait and see!

user1483387154 - how long after coming off the pill did you get your BFP?

Thanks girls :-) was hoping to get pregnant straight away but we will see! I will do another test end of this week if period doesn't turn up! It's such a horrible wait after coming off the pill!!
